The Guardian Mistakenly Reports Patrick Stewart Is Gay. Here's How He Responded.

A Guardian reporter made a gay gaffe earlier this week in a post that labeled straight ally (and Ian McKellan bestie) Patrick Stewart as gay. The publication issued a correction, but not before Sir Patrick had some fun with them.

Well, @guardian it makes for a nice change...at least I didn't wake up to the internet telling me I was dead again.

He tweeted: Well, @guardian it makes for a nice change...at least I didn't wake up to the internet telling me I was dead again."

Once the correction was up, Patrick had another go with the publication, writing, "But @guardian I have, like, five or even SEVEN hetero friends and we totally drink beer and eat lots of chicken wings!"
